Fifty Remarkable Years
John R. Emens College-Community Auditorium 1964-2014
Some stories are a joy to share. The creation of the Emens College-Community Auditorium is one of those. It is really not my story but more accurately tells the saga of a need, a visionary, and a supportive community. In many ways this place is the shining example of what can be achieved when the people of Ball State University and Muncie join forces for positive change.
It started with a dynamic leader, President John R. Emens, who had the foresight to recognize that this growing campus as well as our city would benefit if a performance venue could be conceived and developed. This concert hall would be a home to the Muncie Symphony Orchestra. This state of the art performance venue would host national and international artists, Broadway productions, dance companies, and major speakers and serve as a convocation center for many university functions.
The sum of $3 million was needed to fulfill the vision, and the university could fund only one half of that figure. The community rose to the occasion, pledging more than $1.5 million to this endeavor. I am told that the fund drive to build Emens Auditorium was the very first capital campaign for Ball State University. Without this outpouring of support from businesses, organizations, and individuals, the dream would not have become a reality.
This show place has functioned as a cultural epicenter, where great performances and convocations regularly occur. The presence of a venue that can host world-renowned talent changes the equation regarding the local quality of life, as well as provides a positive economic impact for our community.
The rest of our story is still to be written. We envision Emens Auditorium touching the lives of every person in Delaware County, anticipate that this facility and the efforts of the staff will further expand cultural opportunities and enhance the learning environment for students at Ball State University. The prospect of commissioning new work and extended residency activity of artists could have tremendous impact for both the campus and community. We aim to build upon the tradition of the first half a century and facilitate growth in a program that Muncie continues to cherish. We welcome you to celebrate with us as we embark on our 50th season.
--Robert Myers, Director
"No Boundaries"
The work of Julie Borden features compelling expressions of color. This stunning "painted" violin (cover) hints at a fascinating dichotomy of traditional craftsmanship and contemporary art. One can imagine the contrast of classical music to pop culture as well. The rich juxtaposition is symbolic of my programmatic objective. We aspire to present a diverse array of live cultural experiences intended to match the varied preferences of our patrons. In this our 50th season, the painted violin personifies the diversity of performance characteristic of Emens Auditorium.

Call for Abstracts — 140th APHA Annual Meeting
Theme: Prevention and Wellness Across the Lifespan
Latino Caucus
Submission Deadline: Monday, February 6, 2012
The Latino Caucus requests the submission of original research and interventions in the Latino community for dissemination at the 140th APHA Annual Meeting. The theme, Prevention and Wellness Across the Lifespan, presents an opportunity to discuss the unique challenges and opportunities for prevention and protection across the lifespan in order to have the most positive impact on health (both physical and mental) at all ages. To accomplish this goal, government agencies, community organizations, schools, healthcare organizations and other community members must work together in a comprehensive approach. It is important to discuss how prevention and wellness fits into the current plan for health care reform and what additional reform will be necessary into order to achieve desirable health outcomes.
The Scientific Program Subcommittee of the APHA Latino Caucus particularly encourages established and emerging Latino scholars, practitioners and graduate students to submit their research. Please submit scientific papers that address questions of the complex intersections of prevention and wellness, community resources, structural inequality, gender, geography and ethnicity and the impact of these intersections across the lifespan such as for children, adolescents, mid-life and older adults. We are looking for innovative approaches to address prevention and wellness in the Latino community.
Electronic submission is required: http://apha.confex.com/apha/140am/oasys.epl

Constructed on breathable linen and immaculately printed, this natural-hued runner adds a pop of color and pattern to any summer table.
In the Fall of 2010, three mid career artists, friends for decades, came together with an idea that led to the beginning of South Street Linen. Since then, working with a series of local contract seamstresses, a master printer on Vinalhaven Island, and other supportive businesses, they are fully functional and dreaming up new garments, patterns and fabrics daily. Their commitment to the re-emerging textile community in Maine means they keep their manufacturing local. South Street Linen considers themselves part of the growing "slow fashion" movement, where quality and enduring design in small batches takes precedence over mass production.

CHESTER, W.Va. - A 14-year-old Chester boy who was injured in an accident on Carolina Avenue Sunday evening remains in critical condition in Children's Hospital of Pittsburgh.
Paramedics from Chester-Newell Ambulance found Tyler Simpson unresponsive and unconscious in the roadway at 5:41 p.m. Sunday, said Dezso Polgar, director of operations for the ambulance service.
Simpson, an eighth-grader at Oak Glen Middle School, was taken by ambulance to Chester City Park and then flown by Air Evac Lifeteam to Pittsburgh, said Matt Handley, program director for the helicopter ambulance service.
Chester police have not completed their investigation but believe Simpson ran out into the street and into a trailer being pulled by a pickup truck, Chief Ken Thorn said.
The accident happened near Hancock County Savings Bank, in the 300 block of Carolina Avenue, the main thoroughfare through town.

If you love rumors and intrigue, enter the world of artificial sweeteners.
Several of them have become infamous subjects of Internet urban legends. The truth about them is far less exciting. Artificial sweeteners are well tested and well tolerated by most people, and they offer a world of sweet options to those who avoid calorie-containing sweeteners.
Artificial sweeteners offer an array of sweet options for people who choose to avoid sugar. Although modest amounts of sugar are now permitted on most diabetes meal plans, sweeteners allow people with diabetes to enjoy a wider variety of foods, in larger servings.
Acesulfame K, aspartame, saccharin and sucralose are four popular calorie-free sweeteners approved for use in the United States. Below is an overview of these products.
Acesulfame K
Sold under the brand names Sweet One, Swiss Sweet and Sunett, this product is approximately 200 times sweeter than table sugar. It retains its taste when heated and can be used in baking and cooking. It is found in thousands of products, including chewing gum, powdered beverage and dessert mixes, candy, dairy products and drinks. People living in some 90 different countries consume Acesulfame K.
Sold as NutraSweet and Equal, Aspartame is one of the most carefully studied food ingredients ever. Aspartame has been the target of many Internet rumors and urban legends linking it to such diseases as multiple sclerosis, Parkinson's, Alzheimer's and lupus. These allegations have been examined and are absolutely false. Over 200 scientific studies have confirmed its safety, and regulatory agencies in more than 100 countries have endorsed its use.
Approved by the FDA in 1981, Aspartame is considered safe for most individuals including children and pregnant or breastfeeding women. It should not be used by those who experience allergic reactions, such as skin and breathing problems, or by people who have the rare disease phenylketonuria (PKU), as their bodies can't break down phenylalanine, one of aspartame's main ingredients.
Sold under the names of Sweet'N Low and Sugar Twin, in 1977, the FDA attempted to ban saccharin when studies on male rats demonstrated that it could cause cancer. Further research found that the rats themselves had a predisposition to developing cancer and the sweetener was not the cause. More than 25 years of research has shown that saccharin does not cause cancer in humans.
Known best by the brand name Splenda, this sweetener is made from sugar, a fact that has drawn some negative attention. Internet rumors state that Splenda ads confuse the public into believing that it is as natural as sugar. As with other "artificial" sweeteners, Splenda is a manufactured product. It is created by substituting three atoms of chlorine for three hydroxyl groups on the sugar molecule. Its safety has been evaluated in more than 100 studies over a 20-year period, and it is considered safe for all individuals, regardless of age.

You may have heard the saying, "Time is money." In Charlottesville, that phrase is becoming more true.
The Cville Time Bank is preparing to launch. It's a reciprocal service network that allows people in the same area to provide professional services or tasks in exchange for another.
Anyone involved can offer a service -- anything from home improvement work to teaching someone how to knit. Every time someone performs a service, he or she ears a time dollar.
Time dollars can be exchanged for another service.
"The time bank can operate exchanges anywhere from basic household chores to professional services," said Kathy Kildea, co-chair of the Cville Time Bank. "Whatever our members are able to offer and are in need of, we can make those matches in the time bank to get those needs met."
The entire system is tracked online. The people behind it are trying to recruit as many people as possible to expand the number of services available.
"You may be an attorney and be able to offer legal advice, but you don't have time to clean out your garden," Kildea said. "The time bank is a great way to get what you need from the other members."
The time bank will hold a potluck on Sunday, Jan. 20, for anyone interested in taking part. It will take place at 5 p.m. at the Thomas Jefferson Memorial Unitarian Church on Rugby Road in Charlottesville.

'Planted:' Cathy Selbert celebrates local roots – and seeds, bulbs, soil …
By Max Hrenda
Although Cathy Selbert is completing her fifth year of teaching agricultural sciences at Happy Valley High School, some of her projects are just now beginning to bloom.
"I had the greenhouse on the schedule last year, but we didn't get it finished," Selbert said. "It was finished in time to start greenhouse class this semester, and it has been just wonderful having it."
Though the greenhouse is the most recent of Selbert's projects to blossom, it wasn't long after she first started that she began to add to her program.
"In my first year here, we changed the curriculum to include landscaping," Selbert said. "But the biggest change so far has been adding the greenhouse."
Others feel, however, that the biggest change has been the level of student involvement in ag-science.
"(Students) have bought into the program," said HVHS principal Terry Hubbard. "The children will even come to me and say, 'I think we need to change this out,' or, 'we need to plant this here.' She and the children take great pride in the grounds."

Janyce Ealey Tabbed as Moe's Athlete of the Week
DAHLONEGA, GA - Janyce Ealey has been named the
Moe's Southwest Grill North Georgia Athlete of the Week after
averaging 21 points in two games last week as the freshman carried
the Lady Saints to a pair of victories in the Chick-fil-A
Thanksgiving Classic on her way to being named the
tournament's most valuable player.
Ealey recorded 19 points on 4-6 shooting from long range in the tournament opener against Kentucky Welseyan, before pouring in a career-high 23 points against Trevecca Nazarene to spark a comeback that saw the Lady Saints erase a 20-point deficit midway through the second half to come away with a five-point victory. She was a perfect 4-4 from the free throw line, while pulling down six rebounds in the tournament finale.
The Carrollton, Ga., native is averaging 16 points through her first five collegiate games, while posting an impressive 43.8 percent from behind the arc, and 83.3 percent from the free throw line.
The Moe's Southwest Grill North Georgia Athlete of the Week is voted on each week and picked by the North Georgia sports information staff.

■ Scores from around the state.
■ Naples hangs on to beat Dunbar
The offense looked sloppy at times, and the defense gave up some big plays, but both Naples High units performed when they needed to in the Golden Eagles' 14-12 victory Friday at Dunbar.
■ Barron Collier explodes in second half against Immokalee
With a full moon hovering to the east of Cougar Stadium, one might have expected some oddball events Friday night when Barron Collier played host to Immokalee in the 2009 regular-season opener for both teams.
■ Gulf Coast tops Golden Gate by two touchdowns
Gulf Coast made its third straight playoff appearance last year while Golden Gate won but one game and has yet to play in the postseason. But you could hardly tell the difference during a wild first half of Friday night's non-district, season-opening matchup at Gulf Coast.
■ Palmetto Ridge ends losing streak with opening win
Dan Newbrough's Palmetto Ridge Bears did just about everything right Friday night, as the first-year head coach celebrated a 38-20 victory over Port Charlotte.
■ 100-yard kickoff return highlight of First Baptist Academy's debut
The Lions' first-ever touchdown also came via Mike Rodriguez, who returned a kickoff 100 yards for a touchdown in the third quarter despite the kick sailing over his head.
■ Neumann gets knocked around but lightning suspends game
There was no final score to analyze Friday for St. John Neumann football coach Steve Howey as the Celtics' season opener with Miami-Westminster Christian was called due to lightning with 8:30 left in the first half and the Warriors leading 13-0.
■ Lely will try again Saturday as lightning causes problems
This time, the taste of meaningful football was mere minutes away for the Lely Trojans. Pregame ceremonies were finished; the last warmup passes and punts flew through Friday's damp air. And then the lightning horn at Gulliver Prep sounded.
■ South Fort Myers cruises against Estero
Heavy favorite South Fort Myers let it be known early that there would be no upset on opening night.

Same Universe, Different Lenses: Science, Ethics, and Religion in Dialogue
This is a transcript of an interview given by Dr. Jennifer Wiseman at The Faith Angle Forum Conference on Religion, Politics, & Public Life on November 5, 2013.
The Resource Finder has powerful filtering features — check out the tutorial to learn more.
This is a transcript of an interview given by Dr. Jennifer Wiseman at The Faith Angle Forum Conference on Religion, Politics, & Public Life on November 5, 2013.
This entry was originally posted on February 13, 2010. While the question of evolutionary predisposition toward religious belief may be challenging, Christians need not see it as threatening. In fact, this is actually a Pauline notion that is explored in Romans 1, where Paul claims that it is in mankind's nature to "know God".
I was raised in a household of atheists. My parents were card-carrying members of the American Communist Party, and therefore the atheism in my household was quite close to the militant anti-theism of the so-called "new atheists".
Astronomers have many different methods for measuring the age of various objects in the universe, and they all support ages of billions of years, not thousands. Even if the assumptions of one or two methods were faulty, it is highly unlikely that all of the methods would be affected.
Over the next few months, with permission from Yale University Press, BioLogos will offer edited versions of chapters from John Polkinghorne's best books, Belief in God in an Age of Science and Theology in the Context of Science, in order to help readers delve more deeply into some of his most important ideas.
In this video conversation, N.T. Wright discusses how the Enlightenment worldview -- which clearly separates God from the world -- has impacted our view of Scripture, and why cleaning the "spectacles" through which we view the world can help us see both Scripture and the world more clearly.
This ongoing series written by historian Ted Davis begins with a brief synopsis of his personal background, and then goes on to reveal his passion for debunking "the now-common view that the history of science and Christianity is one of ongoing, inevitable conflict."
Genes and physiology are seen as something different from "us" and "our mind," and they seem to be controlling us, so we can't even change our mind. Humans are presented as pawns of their biology, puppets dancing to the tune of their genetic masters.
Once we have a scientific hypothesis for how something exists, it is tempting to make the philosophical inference that this is also why it exists.
Do you believe in God? If a cadre of outspoken, strong atheists wrote a litmus test for scientists, that might very well be question #1.
In this five-part series, David Williams responds to the book The Magician's Twin: C.S. Lewis on Science, Scientism, and Society by John West and the Discovery Institute, showing that C.S. Lewis was a very complicated thinker whose views are hard to line up exactly with any camp in the current debates over the compatibility of Christian faith and evolutionary science.
If God himself is willing to die, particularly in such a gruesome way, then perhaps we should at least consider the possibility of God allowing the death of other creatures, too. But would this really be compatible with what we know of God through Scripture?
In this series, we reexamine the claim made by Intelligent Design proponent Michael Behe to have found a limit to "Darwinian" evolution in light of recent results from the laboratory of Richard Lenski.
To say something is poetic is not to declare it ultimately untrue, futile and meaningless—it is to say it is more profound and meaningful and true than many other modes of expression.
The debate is often not about evidence, but about making sure that others do not transgress our interpretive boundaries and insist that we're wrong. We've bitten from the tree of knowledge and we love its taste.
The BioLogos Foundation explains to the findings of the Encyclopedia of DNA Elements (ENCODE) project and responds to the claims that its discoveries challenge the theory of evolution, especially regarding so-called "junk DNA".
In this excerpt from the book Delight in Creation: Scientists Share Their Work with the Church, astronomer Deborah Haarsma shares her excitement about recent findings about our universe from a Christian perspective.
In this talk, Professor Plantinga addresses the fact that many contemporary thinkers—including many theologians—believe that God cannot perform miracles, providentially guide history, or interact in the lives of people, as these activities would be contrary to science. Plantinga, on the other hand, makes the case that this popular view is mistaken; excluding divine action in the world is not a central feature of natural science itself, but a philosophical or theological preference that has been added on to science (and can just as readily be removed). Plantinga concludes that it is completely logical to accept the miracles of the Bible and support contemporary science.
Towards the end of the last school year, the Tennessee legislature passed the Teacher Protection Academic Freedom Act, a law that became more popularly known as the "Monkey Bill." I was doing research in a Tennessee high school biology classroom the morning that I learned that the bill had passed.
Many Christians believe that they face a painful choice-- either life was designed by God or it is an evolutionary product of natural selection. Charles Darwin himself believed in this dichotomy, and people ever since have felt the need to "choose sides". However, looking back at history, we find that one of Darwin's chief scientific colleagues, Asa Gray, did not share this perspective. In this three-part essay, part 1 charts the relationship of Asa Gray and Charles Darwin. Part 2 describes Darwin's struggle with the problem of natural evil and design in nature, and part 3 explores how Asa Gray was able to embrace evolution without rejecting the idea of design.

IPFW Ends Valpo's Record Win Streak
Friday, October 06, 2006Valparaiso saw its school record eight-match winning streak come to an end on Friday evening as the Crusaders dropped a 1-0 decision to IPFW in Fort Wayne, Ind.
The Crusader offense could not find the back of the net against Mastodon goalkeeper Shannon Lynn, who made six saves in the shutout victory.
Valpo's defense hung tough yet again, marking the 12th time in 13 matches this year the Brown and Gold have allowed one goal or less. However, Jenna Tulley's goal on a rebound from Anika Apar's free kick with 25:49 remaining proved to be the match-winner for IPFW.
IPFW (3-7) outshot Valpo 16-11 in the match, but the Crusaders had a 7-1 edge in corner kick opportunities. Erin Murray (Pleasanton, Calif./Amador Valley H.S.) made seven saves for the Crusaders in the loss.
Valparaiso (10-3) will return to Eastgate Field on Sunday afternoon as the Crusaders host Lewis. Kickoff is set for 1 p.m., with the match carried live on WVUR (95.1-FM, Valparaiso), and online at www.valpo.edu/athletics. Sunday is Senior Day, with the two Crusader seniors, Jen Bartels (Muskegon, Mich./Mona Shores H.S.) and Liberty Ziegahn (Anchorage, Alaska/Robert Service H.S.) being honored prior to kickoff.

La Futura - Best Buys rip off?
Is the version of La Futura being sold through Best Buys which has 2 bonus tracks the full album, in which case the standard 10 track version is a diminished experience?
Or are the Best Buys 2 bonus tracks a reward for shopping in Best Buys, in which case the vast majority of folks will not know about them and will settle for buying an inferior and diminished version through a lack of knowledge(leading to a sense of frustration and having been ripped off when they find out the Best Buys version has more tracks) because of some pocket lining deal struck between the ZZ Top new management and Best Buys?
Are Best Buys the winners in this deal? The fans outside of the US certainly are not.
I live in the UK and can not buy a copy direct from Best Buys. I have however bought one through ebay and feel ripped off in a sense. I will likely have to pay import duty on the cd, not to mention $8 for postage and packing.
Why am I doing this? Because I love the music. I have bought every album they have brought out to date, all of the ones up to Afterburner on vinyl and then the whole shebang again on cd.
I see too much manipulation of the fan base going on, with stuff like this and the meet and great packages that many folk have complained about elsewhere on the ZZ Top forum. Are the guys in penury?? Do they need to milk their fans of so much hard earned cash?
If they want my money they could put out the rest of their catalogue in decent remastered without loudness form. They could put out the rest of the live gig recorded for Fandango, which is no doubt lurking in the vaults somewhere-a useless fate for it. They could put out the full audio cd of the Germany gig that was released earlier this year. They could put out a box set retrospective overview of their live recordings. Ahh..... so many fan rewarding ways of making money so that both parties come out of it feeling positive and not ripped off.

Tonight's debate is sure to feature language about the One Percent and inequality. Obama will argue that the wealthy – like Romney – need to pay more. Romney will argue that he has no plans to lower taxes for the wealthy, and that taxing the rich won't generate growth.
And Americans will be led to believe that the choice for the White House will have profound impacts on the fates of the One Percent and 99 percent.
A new study, however, shows that the president doesn't really matter when it comes to inequality in America.
The study, called "The Rise of the Super-Rich: Power Resources, Taxes, Financial Markets and the Dynamics of the 1 Percent, 1949-2008, " finds that the president's party affiliation "has no effect" on the share of income held by America's top one percent of earners. (Read more: Millionaires in U.S. On the Rise )
What matters politically, they say, is Congress.
"The president has limited ability to make the sort of legislative changes necessary to affect the top 1 percent without the support of Congress, making Congress the central actor here, " said Thomas W. Volscho, an assistant professor of sociology at CUNY-College of Staten Island, who authored the study along with Nathan J. Kelly, an associate professor of political science at the University of Tennessee.
The study said that there have been many drivers for the rise in inequality in recent decades. The income share of the top one percent grew from 10 percent in 1981 to 23.5 percent in 2007. The authors say that Congress's shift to Republican majorities, diminishing union membership, lower top tax rates, and financial asset bubbles in stock and real-estate markets all "played a strong role in the rise of the 1 percent."
They said that Congress can affect inequality two ways: through taxes and through economic policy. It said Democrats generally favor taxes that redistribute income and policies that produce more "egalitarian" outcomes in the economy.
The authors calculated that every five additional seats held by Republicans in Congress translated into $6.6 billion in additional income (or .08 percent of total income) going to the top one percent of earners.
The study noted that stock markets have an even bigger effect on inequality. A 100 point increase in the S&P 500 adds $39.6 billion to the One Percent's totals.
Of course, there are those who say inequality itself doesn't really matter and is a necessary byproduct of economic growth in today's global, skills-based economy. As for the president's impact, Obama has shown how the bully pulpit can shape the debate over inequality and taxes — even if his efforts to affect either have so far been blocked by Congress. (Read more: CEO Tell Workers They'll Likely Lose Their Jobs If Obama Wins )
Others also say that asset prices and stock markets have a much bigger impact on inequality — since it's largely driven by stock-based pay at the top — than Congress, tax policy or unions do.
But the study suggests that when Romney and Obama start talking tonight about how they will re-shape American wealth over the next four years, their words may be largely symbolic.

Alpha Lipoic Acid and Thyroid Function
Lipoic acid is an organic compound, one molecule of which consists of carboxylic acid and a cyclic disulfide. It is an essential factor that joins with many enzyme complexes, and one of its roles involves being a co-factor in aerobic metabolism. Aerobic metabolism refers to cellular respiration, a set of metabolic reactions and processes in a cell required to convert biochemical energy from nutrients and the subsequent release of waste products.
Lipoic acid was first presented as an effective antioxidant when it was discovered that it prevented symptoms related to vitamin deficiencies, especially those of vitamins C and E. It was also found to have good scavenging activity that could be used to salvage or clean reactive species. It was only in the 1970's that alpha-lipoic acid was studied in the US and was found to be very effective in treating severe liver damage. Later, it was used extensively for treating chronic liver diseases like viral hepatitis and autoimmune hepatitis.
Lipoic acid is found in a variety of food sources. However, information about the quantity present in each is limited. Some of the plant foods containing lipoic acid include broccoli, spinach and potatoes. The acid is also present in kidney, heart and liver meats. Lipoic acid is also sold as a dietary supplement to prevent cell damage due to free radicals. The supplement is available in the form of tablets.
Patients with thyroid conditions need to be careful while taking supplemental lipoic acid. The thyroid is small but a very important part of the endocrine system. Thyroid dysfunction can affect all or any part of the body, as the hormones secreted by it are used by all cells and organs. Lipoic acid taken in conjunction with supplemental thyroid hormones requires a fair amount of extra care.
The effect of lipoic acid on peripheral conversion of the relatively inactive (thyroxine or T4) to the active (triiodothyronine or T3) thyroid hormone in relation with serum lipid-protein-glucose levels has been investigated. Lipoic acid, when given in conjunction with thyroxine, suppresses the conversion. The use of lipoic acid and T4 separately does not affect cholesterol levels, but given together, they tend to reduce the conversion that is otherwise required. Total protein and albumin levels also decrease when both lipoic acid and the thyroid supplement are given together. As standalone supplements, both tend to increase blood glucose, but the same is not observed when given together.
The net result is that although lipoic acid may have a beneficial affect on metabolism, but when taken with thyroid supplements, it requires constant monitoring of hormone levels in the blood to avoid adverse effects. The dual dosage of lipoic acid along with thyroid supplements may also give an impression that the body is not reacting to the thyroid treatment being administered.

New OSU Prez Tours Campus on Friday
COLUMBUS (Ken Hines/Kate Liebers) -- Ohio State University's new president spent Friday afternoon touring the campus and meeting the students he will soon lead.
Dr. Michael Drake and his wife Brenda received a warm Buckeye welcome as students crowded the Ohio Union. Some students presented the new president with a plaque of buckeyes, known as the state's good luck charms.
Freshman student Starr Prater said she skipped class to meet the university's new leader.
"To be able to see not only a black president in the White House, but also at my own college, is really encouraging," she said.
Drake was expected to spend some time at the Wexner Center for the Arts Friday evening, followed by a tour of the OSU Medical Center on Saturday.
The university's Board of Trustees announced the hiring of Drake as the school's new president on Thursday afternoon.
Drake, 64, is coming to OSU from the University of California, Irvine, where he has served as chancellor since 2005.

We've learned through almost a decade of working with families at Leeza's Place, that caregivers are best when they are connected to each other, to support services and to their own strength of spirit.
Now, in addition to offering education, empowerment and energy, we introduce Leeza's Care Connection; a place where caregivers come together to become stronger, more resilient and grounded, developing a set of skills that help them handle their new life of change. Leeza's Care Connection is a natural outgrowth of what we've learned from our guests.
Leeza's Place is simply a place for family caregivers to get educated, empowered and energized. If you find yourself feeling hopeless, exhausted and overwhelmed, let us offer some light and help shoulder the load. We hope you can take a deep breath knowing that you are not alone.
At Leeza's Place, our goal is to provide a safe, home-like setting where family caregivers feel comfortable with their new caregiving challenges and put together a team of support and resources to create their own strategy of coping.
Our programs and services educate, empower and energize. We are a source of strength and purpose
connecting caregivers to one another and to the much needed resources within the community.
Leeza's Place is all about Connecting Caregivers. Our unique mentoring program empowers those who have been touched by chronic and progressive illness to guide, encourage and support other caregivers.
If you can't make it to our caregiver resource centers, connect with us online anytime. Our website offers a Resource Library and our Caregiver Support Blog where caregivers across the country meet to share insights and inspirations. You can find us on Facebook and Twitter too!

No expectations – My 3 daughters and I came here for girls night (weeknight). We purchased 2 groupons. The restaurant is small and cozy, but when we didn't order alcoholic drinks the waiter seemed a bit put off. We found the waitstaff unfriendly. The bellydancer (1) was good, but only danced about a total of 15 min while we were there. The food was good, but 1st 3 courses were very salty, bread is advertised to be served with each course but after 2 we had to ask for it. The traditional hand washing was only for parties of two as we watched more customers come in and observed that. When we asked about it were told there was a restroom where we could wash. It was a bit rushed and at the end of dessert the manager came over and asked if we needed a taxi. I guess that was our Q to leave. We tipped only the traditional 15%. It's an okay experience once, but don't have too high expectations.
Fantastic Food and lots of fun – Unhurried six course meal. All the courses were fantastic and the service was just as good.
Great place to have dinner with friends.
The belly dancers are great too.
A joyful Oasis – If you want a unique and relaxing dinning experience while in Las Vegas, please consider the Marrakech Restaurant. This authentic Moroccan eatery offers excellent cuisine and hospitality in an informal atmosphere.
The menu is abundant but simple. It consists of a six-course, traditional meal which begins with delicious bread, moves on with soup and kabobs before ending with a yummy desert. Before starting your meal, your server will invite you to rinse your hands with warm rose water ? a quaint Middle Eastern custom.
Another custom present at the Marrakech is one or more lovely belly dancers who perform throughout the evening and will, of course, visit your table. If a belly dancer asks you to join her, don?t be shy; you may discover a hidden talent.
Choices of where to eat in Vegas abound. Please do not miss the unique experience offered at the Marrakech.
Awesome experience!!! – The food was great, the staff extremely friendly and will definitely go there again! I cant stop telling my friends back here in Texas about this place! The Belly Dancers.....WOW! Andrea I think was her name. My goodness! We all fell in love with her! If you have never been to a Mororrocan restaurant, this is the one to go to. This will be one of our stops every time we go to Las Vegas. Thank you Ginger and Tim for taking us!
J and M
What a night out......GREAT place to start things out right!!! – What a place to start things out right!! We went on a Saturday night with 18 guys and it was a BLAST. The food served was fantastic and the belly dancers were even better. The service was right on the mark with the exception of feeling a little rushed. When we left there we couldn?t stuff another morsel into our stomachs, so come hungry? As for the drinks, we had been paying $15 a drink throughout the weekend so it was nice to a drink beer/drink for $4/$6?I highly recommend this place, no matter what size party, especially if you want to have a blast!!!!
Girls Night Out- incredible experience! – I have on many occasions wanted to write this much deserving review on Marrakech. First I would like to say it was an honor to eat at this restaurant! I was a little sceptacle to pick this restaurant at first not knowing what to expect and knowing the ten ladies I had invited to join me were very particular. Walking into the place felt as if you were truly in a different country and it had such a wonderful atmosphere. Each and every course was absolutely scruptous- different from any restaurant that I have ever been to. The service was exceptional, the one owner was actually our server- how much more hands on can you get! The dancers were truly beautiful to watch as they encouraged us to dance, and dance we did! From the Jersey Girls to all of you that read this review, we have all been to many restuarants but his place is truly an experience and this will definitely be on my stop list when I come into Las Vegas again! To Sharief,and family, you were an absolute unexpected delight!!
Best Everything! – Okay - don't be put off by the location off-strip. I hear that a lot of good gems can be found off the strip anyway, and this was definitely a diamond in the rough! Hipbec is right, we DID stay for four hours!!! But we absolutely enjoyed ourselves and we really didn't want to leave. The belly dancers are beautiful AND talented, the owner (Hi, Dad!) is so sweet, and his son knows how to make some really good cocktails!!! I second the request for "The Shariefalicious" shots! And, the food was excellent! I loved eating with my hands. The soup was yummy! I loved the shrimp (not overcooked or chewy...just right! And the sauce it was in was to die for), the veggie platter was a nice and refreshing break, the cornish hen dish was so awesome...practically falling off the bone...and it tasted hella good! The kebobs were yummy! The dessert was subtly sweet...if I had the room, I would've eaten it all! It was all so freakin' good! I loved the splash of rose water to wash our hands at the end of the meal. The service was amazing. When (not if) you go, be sure to bring lots of bills to tip the dancers - they're really good at what they do and hella easy on the eyes! Don't be afraid to cheer them on and dance with them when they encourage you to! You'll have more fun if you do! And stick some tips in the servers pockets as well - our server (the owner's son, Sharief) was very attentive...gave us great service and was just all around wonderful to us!!! I'll be going back there on my next visit to Vegas. Thank you, Marrakech, for being the absolute highlight of my bachelorette party! You rock!!! Really - you do!
Highlight of our Bachalorette Party! – This family owned business [father (owner), 2 sons (servers), & daughter (belly dancer)] welcomed us with open arms & big smiles. This restaurant had it all: awesome food, great belly dancers entertainment, fun servers, and a positive vibe. Our bachalorette party stayed there for 4 hours! We were very welcomed & were encouraged to dance, clap, & cheer while the performances were on. You will not leave here hungry, the food is unbelievably good. This was the first time I have had Moroccan food and I was worried that I might not like it, but they served food that everyone likes. The cocktails are tasty & strong, watch out... they creep up on you! I recommend the specialty mai tai and ask for the 'Sharifalicious' shot (a shot made by the owner's son). Sharif, our server was fun & witty (he made our night) with our group of 7 rowdy girls. I highly recommend this restaurant for the food, fun, people, and entertainment. Plan on spending some hours here, its not an eat & leave quickly kind of place. Sit back & watch the beautiful belly dancers or jump up and dance with them! You won't be disappointed!
Our Annual Christmas-New Years Place – Morroco may not bring to mind Christmas, but between Christmas and New Years, our family of eight celebrates with the staff at the Marrakech. It is a fabulous atmosphere that our little kids love, in large part due to the owner and staff loving to see the kids enjoy a unique meal. The belly dancers liven up the place and always give our daughters a chance to shake it. In short, the Marrakech should be on anyone's "must list" for Las Vegas.

2011 KPPC Environmental Sustainability Awards
Kentucky Companies Recognized for Environmental Sustainability Efforts
September 23, 2011
KPPC is proud to announce that Republic Conduit of Louisville and Sherwin-Williams of Richmond are winners of the Center's 2011 Environmental Sustainability Award. The award recognizes KPPC client companies that have demonstrated a commitment to the principles of sustainability: ensuring the social well-being not only of their company as a whole, but also their employees and the community around them; identifying opportunities and implementing environment-related improvements to their facility; and enhancing economic outcomes related to savings from environmental improvements.
Both companies receiving the award this year have well-developed programs and teams, and their recent activities have spanned the social, environmental and economic aspects of sustainability. In addition, they each signed the Kentucky Save Energy Now (KY SEN) pledge in 2010, committing to reducing energy use at their facilities by 2.5 percent per year for 10 years.
See photos from award presentations.
Republic Conduit - a Tenaris Company
Republic Conduit, a division of Tenaris Group, is the leading manufacturer of steel electrical conduit in the United States. The manufacturing facility in Louisville, Kentucky, was first commissioned in 2005, and beginning in 2008, the company made waste and energy reduction projects a priority, with over 60 percent of the corporate capital budget dedicated to environmental projects for the past several years.
Waste reduction projects include improvements to the waste water treatment system, recycling all metal chips and shavings from the manufacturing process, reuse of undamaged wooden pallets and reuse of machine cutting fluid.
Natural gas reduction projects implemented over the past 12 months have reduced energy usage by approximately 35 percent. Electric usage reduction projects are on-going, with significant progress being made with shut-down procedures implemented for the compressed air, cooling tower and process scrubber fans. Those three energy reduction projects alone resulted in an approximate 10 percent reduction in annual electric usage, despite higher production volumes at the facility.
A dedicated cross-functional energy team meets monthly to track and update the status of existing environmental projects. The team acts as a point of contact and incubator for new ideas on energy and waste reduction. The facility also benefits from the strong support of management from the Tenaris Group, which has a long history of environmental stewardship at its companies around the world.
See a video of the award ceremony at Republic Conduit.
Sherwin-Williams Richmond Plant
Sherwin-Williams is one of the world's leading companies engaged in the manufacture, distribution and sale of coatings and related products to professional, industrial, commercial and retail customers. The Richmond, Kentucky plant has operated since 1976, and has three buildings on a 90-acre campus. The facility is ISO 9001, ISO 14001 and OHSAS 18001 certified and has more than 350 employees.
With a strong commitment from management and a participative team structure, the Sherwin-Williams Richmond Plant has implemented a very successful energy management program and has generated significant efficiency improvements and cost reductions, reducing energy consumption by more than 30 percent since 2006. The facility is a model for effective energy efficiency efforts and is a nationally-recognized leader in implementation. The Richmond Plant's success has become a driving force for improving energy efficiency throughout the Sherwin-Williams corporation.
Sustainability efforts at the plant began in earnest five years ago, gaining momentum as projects were implemented and greater cost savings were realized. Over time, the culture of the plant shifted and sustainability efforts became an accepted part of operating the facility, with capital investment in sustainability projects becoming part of the budget. As an additional benefit, the substantial energy team successes helped improve employee morale and engagement at the site. Some of the implemented projects have involved waste heat, compressed air, boiler room heat, vents off condensate pumps and lighting. Currently, the energy team at the Richmond Plant continues to implement dozens of open energy projects and achieve energy use reduction and cost savings. Through their experience, they have seen that a 40 to 50 percent improvement is possible.
See a video of the award ceremony at Sherwin-Williams.

This is the third year that KPPC has presented the Environmental Sustainability Awards in conjunction with national Pollution Prevention (P2) Week, the third week of September.

Michael Jackson's 'Thriller' turns 30: How zombies changed pop music's tune
CBS Records/Epic
"Thriller," Michael Jackson's sixth studio album, was released Nov. 30, 1982.
The fame-changing chart-killing record celebrates 30 years on Friday, and to underscore the album's achievement, Billboard revisited the exceedingly grim context of its release.
Watch the videos below
Jackson's previous record, "Off The Wall," had been a success by all widely accepted measures, but that was 1979.
In 1982, the near-radioactive fallout of disco, combined with the mass-migration of mass-appeal listeners from AM Top 40 to FM stations, led to segregated audiences splintering along musical sub-genre lines.
More to the point, "Thriller" was released at a time when "black artists [were] being ghettoized on urban contemporary radio, while disappearing from pop radio," says Billboard.
Precision targeting of audiences meant that radio stations needed to avoid playing anything that fell outside their target listeners' most narrowly-defined tastes...In all of 1982, only two No. 1 records on the Billboard Hot 100 were by black artists.
Paris Jackson wants to talk to her grandmother
Michael Jackson's mother Katherine was reported missing over the weekend, but authorities say she is with relatives in Arizona. The late King of Pop's daughter Paris, however, tweeted with alarm this week that she still hasn't talked to spoken to her grandmother/guardian:
8 days and counting . something is really off , this isn't like her at all .. i wanna talk directly to my grandmother!!<|3— Paris Jacksoη (@ParisJackson) July 24, 2012
— Paris Jacksoη (@ParisJackson) July 24, 2012
9 days and counting… so help me god i will make whoever did this pay
The executors of Michael Jackson's estate, John Branca and John McClain, issued a statement Tuesday saying they are doing what they can to protect family members from "undue influences, bullying, greed, and other unfortunate circumstances," the Associated Press reports.
Michael Jackson estate sues the King of Pop's former manager
Dave Hogan/Getty Images
Michael Jackson arrives on stage during his 'HiStory' concert tour held in New York in 1997
On Friday, the estate of Michael Jackson sued the performer's former manager, Tohme R. Tohme.
The ex-advisor, who worked with Jackson from Jan. 2008 until Mar. 2009, is accused of influencing the Grammy-winning megastar to sign "unconscionable contracts" for self-serving financial gain during the final years of the singer's life.
The contracts in question include a self-negotiated producer's fee for a series of comeback concerts in London, and a debt-related Neverland Ranch deal.
The estate wants Jackson's missing property and financial records returned, as well as a ruling that keeps Tohme away from the estate's money.
Tohme claims he is owed a percentage of the millions collected by the estate in the time since Jackson's death. It is believed he will file his own lawsuit.
